A chance meeting at the library between Gently James, a well-traveled caregiver from the West Adams district, and Evan Fisher, a software engineer, progresses into an odyssey through South LA.

On the hottest day of the year, Evan whisks Gently away to Malibu for a romantic weekend. When the trip hits the rocks, the couple is forced to question their future.

At Evan's urging, he and Gently spend the day "shopping" for a counselor to help them address their issues, but it soon becomes apparent that their problems are deeper than either of them imagined.
